Well, in the quote you give, he isn't saying he believes the throne is empty, either. He is saying he doesn't know. But a sedevacantist is someone who believes the seat is vacant.

Sounds more like he left sedevacantism because he came to really understand it.

Sede clergy refuse the sacraments to r&r people, and tell sedes they will commit a mortal sin if they go to r&r clergy for the Mass and sacraments.

Yet all the while, at the same time the same sede clergy still claim these r&r clergy are still “catholic”.

So they are refusing the sacraments to people they consider Catholic, and forbidding other Catholics from receiving go the sacraments from clergy they somehow still regard as Catholic.

This is flat out schism.

“The sin of schism is also committed by separation from the members of the Church. Thus, one who refuses to communicate with Catholics in matters of faith or worship, choosing to act as an independent in those things, is a schismatic.”

If we want to be technical, R&R is also schismatic.  They say new-Rome is in authority but then do their own thing. 

There’s no Trad option which is free from criticism.  Accept this, everyone stop flinging mud, and pray. 

You are talking about dogmatic non Una cuм Sedevacantist clergy. The CMRI, which is he largest Sedevacantist group, do not follow these practices.

When I read posts like this, I’ve come to the conclusion that the poster never really understood sedevacantism in the first place or his desire to not be an outcast outweighed his love for the truth.

Legally speaking, all Trads are in schism.  Morally speaking, they are not.
